Gluten-Free eating and Morish Nuts

Finding tasty foods to eat whilst managing coeliac disease or maintaining a gluten free diet used to be quite difficult. Luckily it is fast becoming much easier and gluten free products are becoming readily accessible. These products are necessary for sufferers but are becoming very popular amongst others embracing a gluten free diet and lifestyle for the health benefits. Coeliac disease affects at least 1 in 100 Australians, with many remaining undiagnosed and suffering unknowingly. Many Australians also suffer from a gluten intolerance, which means they too cannot consume gluten. Coeliac disease occurs when the immune system reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat rye, barley and oats. The villi in the intestine, the tiny fingers within the lining, become inflamed and flat and this makes it difficult for the affected person to absorb nutrients from food. If you know a person who suffers from coeliac disease or gluten intolerance you will find that they seem to be some of the healthiest people around. Their skin and hair is healthy, they don’t put on too much weight, and actually have plenty of energy. This might be due to the fact that they replace the breads and pastas with other healthier options as they have no choice. The problem with replacing foods such as bread and pasta can mean a lack of energy as you are not receiving the carbohydrates to propel you. But sufferers have found that replacing with nutrient rich foods and eating smaller meals more often combats this problem. So why not try snacking on some nuts instead of crackers as a gluten free option? They are full of healthy iron, biotin, calcium, healthy oils, and high in fibre Morish Nuts has a huge range of gluten free options to choose from: All our Caramel Coated Range (Macadamias, Cashews, Almonds & Peanuts), Crunch, Peanut Brittle, Natural Macadamias & Pistachios, High Oilec Peanuts, Roasted & Salted Macadamias just to name few.
